lighting you need to plan according what you want to keep with regards to livestock/corals etc

you have any pics of the setup?
is it a running tank?
you doing a kwick move or restarting the tank?
what type of skimmer is it?
whats exact size of the tank,maybe we can help determine the exact literage etc

Depending on the depth of the system. being 250L I guess its is between 420 and 600mm deep. On that depth 4 or more T5 globes would do. But more important is the type of corals. SPS and clams you most likely would need more than just 4 tubes. Depending on the thickness of your wallet, the latest LED units do offer good value and depth penetration.

Being a beginner, I would start with T5 and softy corals. Check the for sale section. Later, when you know what you want then you can upgrade the lights to a much better system.

And while here on MASA, use the Google search function at the top of every page and start reading.
